Working principle and special functions for cooling

Principle:

Air conditioner absorbs heat in the room and transmit to outdoor and discharged,

so that indoor ambient temperature decreased, its cooling capacity will increase

or decrease by outdoor ambient temperature.

Anti-freezing function

If the unit is running in COOL mode and in low termperature, there will be frost formed

on the heat exchanger, when indoor heat exchanger temperature decreased below 0

the indoor unit microcomputer will stop compressor running and protect the unit.

Working principle and special functions for heating

Principle:

* Air conditioner absorbs heat in the room and transmit to outdoor and discharged,

will increase, its heating capacity will decrease by outdoor ambient temperature.

so that indoor ambient temperature increased, so room heating capacity.

* If outdoor temperature got lower, please operate with the other heating ventilating

equipments.

Defrosting:

*When outdoor temperature is low but high humidity, after a long while running,

frost will form on outdoor unit, that will effect the heating effect, at this time,

the auto defrosting function will act, the heat running will stop for 8-10mins.

*During the auto defrosting, the fan motors of indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop.

*During the defrosting, the indoor indicator flashes, the outdoor unit may emit vapor.

This is due to the defrosting, it isn't malfunction.

* After defrosting finished,the heating will recover automatically.

Anti-freezing function:

In "HEAT" mode, if in the following status, the indoor heat exchanger haven't achieve

the certain temperature, that the indoor unit will not act, in order to prevent cool air blowing.

(Within 3mins)

1.Heating starts. 2.After Auto defrosting finished. 3.Heating under the low temperature.

the dealer in following situations.

There is harsh sound during operation.

The terrible odors emitted during operation.

Water is leaking in the room.

Air switch or protection switch often breaks.

Carelessy splash water or something into unit.

There is an abnormal heat in power supply cord

Stop running and pull out of the plug.

If unit is running under the high humidity for

a long time, the moisture will be condensed

on the air outlet grill and drip off.
